Enjoy the dramatic and stunning scenery of Kauai and Molokai or the endless recreation and activities offered by Maui or Oahu. Hawaii can be as adventurous or relaxing as you want to make it.

Paris, France

It is hard to compete with the “City of Love” when it comes to choosing a great Valentine’s Day destination. Although the famous love locks may have been removed from the Pont des Arts and other local bridges, love continues to flourish in Paris.

As February is off season for Paris, you and your partner can enjoy more privacy, far removed the masses of tourists. You’ll also enjoy cheaper airfares.

There are more than enough restaurants offering mouth-watering French cuisine that is sure to warm you up from the cold and if that doesn’t do it the delicious hot chocolate you’ll find in Paris definitely will.

Fiji

You don’t get more romantic than having your own private bungalow directly over the sea, but that’s exactly what you can find in Fiji. Enjoy adults only resorts or head to a deserted island for even more privacy.

Rent a small catamaran where you and your partner can set sail alone, stopping to have a private picnic on the beach of your choice. Enjoy horseback riding on the beach, maybe a Fijian Lovo feast, or shop for famous black pearls.

Lord Howe Island, Australia
